La Mia Toscana, serving gelato and panini, will open in the same building as Capital Dime, The Rind and Yogurtagogo, reports Tori Masucci Cummins in Sactown Mag.

Eatuscany—owned by husband-and-wife team Franco and Stefania Zerbinati (who hail from the northern Tuscan seaside city of Viareggio, Italy)—will specialize in lunchtime fare like paninis and piadina (flatbread sandwiches) filled with Italian meats and cheeses, as well as pasta, soups and salad.

But the offering that Stefania is most excited about is Eatuscany’s artisan gelato bar, which will feature house-made gelato in classic flavors like pistachio and hazelnut. She graduated from Italy’s Artigeniale gelato school under the direction of acclaimed gelato professor Filippo Zampieron.

It's unclear what the restaurant's actual name will be. Sactown Magazine reported earlier this month that it would be called Eatuscany, although the logo on the Web site now refers to the place as La Mia Toscana.

The restaurant, whatever its final name is, will compete with the much beloved Devine Gelateria, located nary a block away.

When it opens, La Mia Toscana or Eatuscany Italian Deli will be located at 1801 L Street, and can be found online at http://www.eatuscany.us/.

I had so many great beers during those 11 days it was astounding, including saisons, sours, barrel-aged masterpieces, stouts, chocolate stouts, spicy chocolate stouts, coffee stouts, rare beers, all kinds of IPAs, even a few session beers consumed in the interests of pacing and self-preservation. But I was a mere lightweight compared to Louie Toro, whom many consider Sacramento’s No. 1 beer aficionado. Toro, the owner of Wireless World who spends his days fixing smartphones, is the one who got John Zervas into craft beer. Zervas is the publisher of Hops to Table magazine, which celebrated its second anniversary during Beer Week. Toro has rated 1,200 beers in the past 12 months on Untappd, the popular beer app linked to social media. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.

Tilted Kilt plans Sacramento region debut - A company that bills itself as the "best-looking sports pub you've ever seen" wants to enter the Sacramento region.
